Ah, I probably should've known from the
RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
that it was different.

Taking the rationale & potential problems out of the equation, that
code movement does suppress the complaints from rcu/maple tree,
thanks.

Cheers,

Comparing with what we do on arm64, a less radical change would be to
move the IPI init after notify_cpu_starting(), which explicitly
enables RCU usage.

Something like:

diff --git a/arch/riscv/kernel/smpboot.c b/arch/riscv/kernel/smpboot.c
index bb0b76e1a6d4..f4d6acb38dd0 100644
--- a/arch/riscv/kernel/smpboot.c
+++ b/arch/riscv/kernel/smpboot.c
@@ -238,10 +238,11 @@ asmlinkage __visible void smp_callin(void)
mmgrab(mm);
current->active_mm = mm;

- riscv_ipi_enable();
-
store_cpu_topology(curr_cpuid);
notify_cpu_starting(curr_cpuid);
+
+ riscv_ipi_enable();
+
numa_add_cpu(curr_cpuid);
set_cpu_online(curr_cpuid, 1);
probe_vendor_features(curr_cpuid);

which I obviously haven't tested at all.

Thanks,

M.

Ack, that looks right to me.

I don't see anything wrong with it and it's passing my tests, but we've
got a handful of ways to boot so it's all a bit messy and I might be
messing something.

I'm still catching up a bit as I took both days off this weekend.
Hopefully just an oversight in a bigger rafactoring, but I'll give it
another look.

Marc: are you going to send that as a patch?

Just did [1].
